Chapter 676 - 605: Pre-War Preparations (Part 2)
Perhaps it might take a few months.
Additionally, there is a need to forge supreme foundations.
Thus, Qin An was in no hurry.
If there is news from the Annihilation Divine Spear before the others have organized themselves, Qin An will first attempt to take control over there, which is fine.
If the others are already organized, then Qin An will join forces with Bai Lingfeng and others to first annihilate those three large Forbidden Areas.
Whichever side he reaches first, he’ll handle that side first.
Qin An had long planned this out.
Upon hearing this, Bai Lingfeng drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, got up, and said, "I don’t have a clear answer on exactly how long it will take, but I’ll expedite it. Rest assured, now that I know about this, I take it very seriously, and I won’t just go through the motions or waste too much time."
The two of them calculated further, making the details increasingly precise.
Only then did Bai Lingfeng rise to leave the room directly.
He had other matters to attend to, especially since Qin An’s task required urgency, so he didn’t linger with Qin An further.
After Bai Lingfeng left, the sky had already turned pitch black.
Qin An did not go to the Confidential Library; instead, he rested early.
...
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
The Pill Furnace in the Dragon Palace store was glowing red-hot, and the medicinal pills inside filled the entire space of the furnace densely.
The Dragon Demon stood respectfully beside Qin An, not daring to make the slightest sound.
After a moment, Qin An came back to his senses and waved his hand at the Pill Furnace.
Accompanied by Qin An’s hand motion, the fiery red color inside the Pill Furnace quickly disappeared, returning to a normal color shortly after.
Qin An raised his hand and slapped the Pill Furnace, and the next moment, the furnace swiftly opened, with the pills inside rushing out like a river, scattering randomly on the ground.
If there were a skilled Pill Master present, they would realize each pill was an invaluable compound pill.
Qin An looked at the Dragon Demon and said, "Help me sort them into categories, ensuring each bottle contains the same quantity."
The Dragon Demon dared not pause, quickly picking up a wooden box from the side and opening it.
Inside the box were numerous porcelain bottles.
The Dragon Demon squatted on the ground, filled each porcelain bottle with a mountain of pills, and then straightened up again.
Qin An then turned his gaze to the corner.
There lay piles of hundreds of bottles of pills.
In the past few days, Qin An had been frantically refining pills in this Dragon Palace shop and had gained quite a lot.
The reason he refined so many pills had a purpose.
Once Bai Lingfeng gives a definite response, a large number of Forbidden Land Golden Envoys will assist him against those from the three large Forbidden Areas.
These pills are meant for those Forbidden Land Golden Envoys.
This operation is dangerous, and having the support of these compound pills would be an excellent aid for those Forbidden Land Golden Envoys.
As for the materials and the Pill Furnace used, they naturally came from the Dragon Palace.
When Qin An came to the Dragon Palace shop, he told the Dragon Demon his idea, and the Dragon Demon immediately contacted the Old Dragon King.
The Old Dragon King didn’t say a word and proclaimed that even if it required the full power of the Dragon Palace, they must assist Qin An.
Today, Qin An could single-handedly overturn the entire Dragon Palace.
Moreover, since Qin An had greatly helped during the Dragon Phoenix Calamity, the Old Dragon King dared not treat Qin An with the slightest neglect.
Qin An was not going to be modest, especially since this concerned his safety, hence he stayed to refine pills, unexpectedly increasing his mastery level in the Pill Master profession.
Seeing that the Dragon Demon had finished packing, Qin An gestured and said, "Find me a big wooden box and pack all these pills into it; I want to return home."
The Dragon Demon dared not hesitate and immediately went to the store, found a huge wooden box, and placed all the pills into it, then respectfully presented it to Qin An.
"Mr. Qin, everything is ready."
Qin An thought for a moment, then took a bottle of compound pills from the wooden box and handed it to the Dragon Demon, saying calmly, "Consider this bottle your reward. Over the past few days, you’ve helped me reduce a lot of hassle."
The Dragon Demon was overjoyed and quickly accepted the bottle with reverence.
He knew very well the value of the pills Qin An refined.
Holding this bottle of pills, whether used personally or traded with others, was highly valuable.
It was comparable to a treasure.
After storing the pills, the look in the Dragon Demon’s eyes towards Qin An was filled with greater awe.
An individual with such high strength, who also understands worldly affairs, Mr. Qin will certainly not remain a mere pond fish; even the Celestial Cloud Path might not be able to restrain him.
Receiving Mr. Qin’s favor today was as if his ancestors were greatly blessed.
Thinking this, the Dragon Demon watched as Qin An, without further words, turned and walked directly out.
The Dragon Demon escorted Qin An as he dragged the box away from the Dragon Palace shop, following him until his figure disappeared at the end of the street, and then returned to the Dragon Palace to continue his chores.
...
It didn’t take long for Qin An to return home from the Dragon Palace shop.
Just as he was moving everything into his room and hadn’t even had a sip of hot tea, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.
The sound of knocking accompanied by the halt of footsteps echoed slowly.
"Mr. Qin, are you inside?"
Li Moyun’s voice came from outside.
Qin An frowned slightly, and then went to the door to open it.
At that moment, standing outside alongside Li Moyun was a young man dressed entirely in black.
This young man appeared quite ordinary, blending easily into any crowd.
However, at his waist was a token with golden patterns.
Qin An recognized that this token was the badge of a Forbidden Land Golden Envoy, meaning the young man standing before him was one.
Before Qin An could speak, Li Moyun began introducing him.
"Mr. Qin, this is the Forbidden Land Golden Envoy Zhao Xuan, Mr. Zhao."
"Lord Bai is currently busy with Mr. Qin’s matters and is still arranging things, so he sent Mr. Zhao over to discuss the specifics with Mr. Qin."
Zhao Xuan glanced at Qin An with a hint of interest in his eyes.
This time, Bai Lingfeng had visited many Forbidden Land Envoys to gather these busy Forbidden Land Golden Envoys, revealing to them a great secret.
And these Forbidden Land Golden Envoys were hearing Qin An’s name for the first time.
Therefore, while Zhao Xuan was here to complete the task Bai Lingfeng had given him, he was also very interested in seeing what kind of person Qin An was.
Qin An immediately cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Mr. Zhao, please come in, both of you."
Saying this, Qin An turned and entered the room.
Zhao Xuan didn’t hesitate, taking big steps into the room.
Li Moyun then said to Qin An, "What the two of you will discuss isn’t something my position is suited to overhear, so I won’t be joining you."
He understood well that their discussion was of significant matters, not something that a mere Golden Taoist Order could intersect with.
So, after a few simple words, he took his leave.
The door was shut by Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan approached Qin An and slowly took a seat.
He was just about to speak when his gaze lingered on the wooden box in Qin An’s corner.
"What is that? Such potent medicinal energy."
At his level, being a top expert in the Heavenly Dao, he could instantly discern the mysteries within the wooden box.
Qin An smiled faintly and then opened the wooden box in front of Zhao Xuan.
As bottle after bottle of pills appeared in front of Zhao Xuan, Qin An’s voice, mixed with a medicinal scent, slowly reached Zhao Xuan’s ears.
"This mission is extremely arduous and dangerous, essentially a life-and-death struggle, so I refined many compound pills to distribute among my colleagues to help reduce their risks."
Zhao Xuan stared at the porcelain bottles within the wooden box, then raised his head to look at Qin An.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the man in front of him seemed increasingly elusive.
